In the Tristram case, it is now
plain that the boys did not commit
suicide, and there is no sound reason
to believe that they had anything to
do with the murder of the baker.
The Tristram boys were mistaken for
the murderers, land were chased and
killed by an infuriated crowd, which
was perhaps aged on by the murd-
erer or. r.murderers of the first victim.

the Senate in a body when the vote
was taken, and the territorial secre-
tary refused to swear in the Repub-

refused to recognise the Senate as

TFor the AshevilIe CITIZEN.
THE LAND AND LABOR CLUB,

Messrs Editors II regret that other
business has prevented my answering
sooner the question which you asked a
few days ago in reference to the Land
and Labor movement. It seems unnec-
essary for me to define again our position
on this subject, as I endeavored to do
that plainly and duuequivoca!ly in my re-
cent article in the AdUdnce; and why
should you attempt to make us response
bic for the statements fDY. McGlynn, or
some other man a thousand miles away,
when we have stated our own position
sufficiently clear to be within the COM
prehension of any one of ordinary intel
ligence.s
Judging from the number of short
editorial notices which have appear
ed in your paper, one would think that,
although the editors of the CITIZEN were
greatly interested in the "Henry George"
movement, they knew very little more
about it than the man who thought it
meant the organization, in Asheville, of
the Cavalry Company that had been
spoksn eE IF you really believe that the
and as set fefeI in my article in the
1de1ace, is erroneous, why do you not
show US In an intelligent manner where
in the error lies, and give some reason for
the faith that is within yourselves?
The CITIZEN has heretofore ranked
itself along with the World, Times and
Herald as one of the ''great dailies'' of
the world, and it should keep abreast
with these, its contemporaries, in
the discussion of what is admitted to hss
the most important question in American
politics.
You may know from the follow
ing facts that this question is by no
means uninteresting to our own people:
It is the most conspicuous subject in the
editorial columns of the New York pa
pers and has been discussed by all the
leading papers in the State. My article
in the Adudnce, though unusually long,
was universally read with interest and
partially endorsed by q large number
Mr.. Georges paper has good circula-
ton in Asheville, and some of our lead
ing and most intelligent citizens are pro-
nounced believers in his doctrines.
You seem to think that our people
prefer the practical to the ideal. But
more than once you have discoursed at
length in high flower poetic phrase and
glittering metaphor on the the glories of
mountain sunset; more than once you
have wept through whole columns over
the grave of Junaluske and discussed in
labored editorials the charred bones and
rusty ytomahawks-relicso ofan age and race
that have passed away. Now. it seems to
US that with equal credit to yourselves as
journalists and much more to the pleas
ure and benefit of your readers, you
might devote some time and space to the
discussion of question eminently prac-
tical, of vital importance, and interesting
to all. Whatever you would gay would
be read with eagerness,- and surely a
cause, if true, could not suffer when ad-
vocated by such champions.
So, gentlemen, if you have aught to
say in refutation of our position, cay it,
or do as Cromwell bade the Rev. Mr..
Hitch, Leave off your fooling and come
down, sir" Very respectfully,
LOCKE CRAIG.

A Washington dispatch of recent
date says: 1T is announced here
that Hon. Jai'. w. Reid, who recent
ly resigned his seat in Congress be-
cause of financial embarassments,
and who was supposed to have
joined the American colony in CAM
ada to escape prosecution, has re-
turned to his home in Rockingham
county, N. c. Presumably his af
fairs were not as bad as reported.
1t is the hope here that such may
be the case. He was very popular
among his associates, and there was
universal surprise and regret at the
disclosure of his troubles. His po-
litical career may be ended, but he
is young man of energy and fine
capacity, and has time in which to
retrieve himself financially.

DEATH OF THE FOUNDER OF THE
UNITED WoRKMEN.

DEATH OF THE FOUNDER OF THE
UNITED WoRKMEN.
J. J. Upchurch died in st. Louis,
Mo-, last week, and was buried with
great honors by the Masonic frater-
nifty and representatives of the
Lodge of United Workmen in that
city. Rev. John D. Vincil, Past
Grand Master and Grand Receiver
A. o. U. W., preached the funeral
sermons. DR.. Vincil passed in re-
view the life of the deceased and
dwelt upon the wonderful work ac-
complished by him in organizing
the order of United Workmen.
%Neither Charlemagne nori King Ar
thur had done as great work for
the benefit of humanity as J. J. Up
church had accomplished since
1868. The order which owed its
birth to him now numbered 175, 900
members, and $350,000,OO0 were
pledged for the charitable objects
which were the great reason for It's
existence. No simpler, gentler, gran
der man ever lived than the one
who was about to be laid to his long
rest. Missouri should never cease to
be grateful that his last days had
been passed tn the State and that
his body was to repose in Bellefon-
taine. The speaker announced that
a,monument would be erected to
his memory by voluntary contribu-
tions from the order in all parts of
the country"
The deceased was a brother of Mrs.
Lawrence, of Hickory, N. c., the
mother of Mrs. J. L. Pleasant, of
this place, and the latter had always
been greatly attached to him,

The EXTENSION OF TIE CAROLINA CEN
TRIAL.
The Shelby Aetrora, speaking of the
probable extension of the c. C. Road,
SAYS:
"It is stated in several newspapers
that the Carolina Central will soon ad-
vance towards AsheYille. If the town
ships and counties will aid this compa-
pany, the Carolina Central will in 1885
reach Asheville. If the latter gives us q
through Western outlet, and the C. G.
& c. Railway build to the ore beds and
coal fields, then will Shelby be on big
boom. The outlook is encouraging and
we await the consumation of these two
railway enterprises"
'The Wilmington RcUiew, speaking of
the same subject, says:
"The construction of the Carolina
Central Railroad through to Asheville
is a consumation devoutly to be wished.
The distance is not much more than 300
miles and tlis can be covered, when the
road is completed, in IA hours, taking
the time, q mil lcs-sS -hcss<, now -ras,fSa
